UNITED STATES DIONYSIU'S W( TREMBATI-I, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

SKIRT MARKER.

Application filed .Tune 28, 1923. Serial No. 648,289.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, DroNrsIUs W. Tanitna'ri-r, a citizen of the Unitedv States, resid- 4ing at New York, in the county of New York and State of N ew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Skirt lriarkers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to skirt markers and more particularly to a novel and improved ruler or gauge for marking the betteln of a skirt when the same is being fitted.

'llhe primary object of my invention is to provide a. graduated ruler er scale having a cut-away portion or serrated side edge whereby the desired length of a skirt may be marked when the skirt .is being worn er fitted on the individual.

I accomplish the above objects and others which will become apparent when considered in connection with theA accompanying draw ings, wherein;

Figure l is a perspective view showing the application of the skirt marker.

Figure 2 is a. face view of the skirt marker.

Referring now te the drawings wherein like reference characters designate correspending parts throughout the several views, 5 designates in its entirety a ruler, graduated preferably in inches along one edge as shown by numeral G. One edge of the ruler is provided with a plurality of equally spacedl cut-eut triangular portions 7, the edge 8 of said triangular portions being disposed at an angle of substantially GOO se that the marker or chalk, con'imenly used by dressmakers and tailers and indicated in `Figure l by numeral 9, can be moved across any one of the cut-out portions 7 so as to mark the skirt at the required length. It will be' noted that each one` of the cut-eut portions are disposed at one of the inch graduations of the ruler so that when the skirt is marked in different positions, the marks may be connected and an even length of the skirt obtained by the. dressmaker or tailor. Y

A marker ofthis character is not only extremely simple, very inexpensive, and practical, but also performs the same functions of other well known types of skirt marking machines and devices. Since the cut-out pertionsv' extend inwardly over the face of the ruler, it will be seen that the material of the garment can be drawn inwardly so that the chalk will properly mark the material as it is slightly creased.

Vvhile I have shown a skirt marker or ruler of thisvcharacter undercut on one side thereof, it will be readily understood that the said ruler Vmay also be manufactured with undercuts on both sides, if so desired. In actual practice, but one side is-necessary.

Having thus shown and described my invention what I claim as new 4and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is A skirt marker or gauge comprising ak graduated ruler, said graduations being disposed along one edge thereof and beginning at the bottom of the ruler, the opposite edge being provided with a series of deep triangular notches, the bottoms of which lare cut in a horizontal plane, and extend substantially to the center of the ruler whereby a piece of material placed in one of said notches will be supported on said horizontal portion thereof to facilitate marking.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
